Inducting new players

The summer terms mean Saturday mornimng wargaming, and this term I have four new boys interested in pushing the plastic across the table. The vote was for Warhammer 40K, so this morning we settled in to my wargames room (since my temporary accommodation is 50 metres down the road from work, and this save sme lugging boxes of figures in to a classroom) and we worked our way through a small introductory game (admittedly using the 4th Edition rules).

They don't have their own armies (yet) so it was out with my Space Marines and Traitors.

Good stuff Robin. Should have seen some of the 40K stuff at Conquest yesterday (though you could still catch them today). I think they were playing...oh, what is it...the BIIIGGG version of the game. There were some MASSIVE tanks, stompers and flying Xemomorphs up close and personal with the grunts.

About Me

Public admission time: it was back in the late '60s that I began 'gaming along with a great group of friends. I game a wide range of periods, but my all time favourite rules set is 'Volley and Bayonet' by Frank Chadwick. I am also a great fan of the Spearhead stable of rules, especially Great War Spearhead written by Shawn Taylor. Most recently I have become a convert to HotT (Hordes of the Things, the fantasy variant of DBA). I also play DBA and Armati, with a smattering of the GW rules.
